Chapter 58 - 58: The IOU, Swallowed?



Longman couldn’t take the time to reprimand his subordinates and hastily turned around, covering the firefighter’s mouth, preventing him from continuing.

“Nothing happened, there was no incident.”

Longman was truly frightened, hastily taking the IOU from the firefighter’s hand.

Sure enough, it was the IOU from the Jones Family, though one corner was burnt, its content was still clearly visible, even the fingerprint from Old Madam Jones was still on it.

Hisss!

Seeing this IOU, Longman couldn’t help but draw a breath of cold air.

“Mr. Longman, is this our Jones Family’s…” Sherry began to speak but stopped when she saw Longman stuffing something into his mouth while his back was turned to her.

In a while, Longman turned around, his mouth bulging as if he had stuffed two eggs in it.

“No worries, no, they got it wrong…” Longman mumbled, still chewing.

This…

Observing Longman’s behavior, Sherry, couldn’t help but feel concerned for him.

Then, she saw Longman painfully swallow the contents of his mouth.

Swallow… swallowed?

Sherry couldn’t help but feel distressed for him. If her guess was correct, what he had swallowed was the IOU.

But the question was, why would he swallow the IOU?

Sherry was utterly confused, unable to make sense of it.

What puzzled Sherry even more was that after swallowing the IOU, Longman claimed he would compensate their family.

“Miss Jones, I apologize for my subordinates’ disrespect towards you earlier. Our method of debt collection was indeed greatly flawed.

Rest assured, I’ve taught them a severe lesson. They will never do it again.

To show our apology, Nine Dragons Finance is willing to compensate your family with ten million. What do you think? If it’s not enough, I can add more,” Longman sincerely said.

Ah… huh?

Sherry stood in place, her heart racing relentlessly. What was happening?

She came here to discuss repayment, yet she didn’t have to repay the debt and instead received ten million in compensation?

What… Is Nine Dragons Finance, is Longman Jack now so agreeable?

Sherry was utterly flustered and could hardly tell her directions. She stood there blankly.

“Miss Jones? Miss Jones? …” Longman called out to Sherry several times, but she didn’t respond.

Sherry stood still blankly, staring at Longman. Longman was staring back at her and asked, “Miss Jones, is the amount too small? I can add more…”

Sherry quickly came back to her senses and said, “No no no… it’s enough, it’s too much. I’m a bit overwhelmed. Are you really giving us ten million?”

Upon hearing that, Longman promptly had someone draw up an IOU for Sherry and then called the bank.

Suddenly, Longman handed the IOU and the bank transfer record to Sherry, “Miss Jones, this is the bank’s transfer record. The money has been transferred to your company’s account.

If you don’t believe it, you can call back and check. Alternatively, you can take this IOU, and if that ten million doesn’t arrive, feel free to come find me, Longman.”

Whoa!

Upon seeing the transfer record, Sherry froze again, disbelief plastered all over her face.

What is this?

Is this still the intimidating Longman Jack we used to know?

Isn’t this being too agreeable?

If we didn’t know better, we’d mistake him for a charity!

Sherry Jones, unable to comprehend it all, sharply pinched her thigh, fearing she was dreaming, but the results confirmed the reality. Her thigh hurt, and the money had been transferred.

wow!

Sherry Jones was utterly stunned. Even when she left the Longman Company, she hadn’t calmed down.

Standing by the roadside, Sherry Jones stood for a good ten minutes before remembering to call home and report the situation.

Sherry Jones called Mori Jones. Upon hearing the news, Mori was pleased on behalf of Sherry.

At this moment, at the Jones family house, Old Madam Jones was left dumbfounded by Mori’s account of the events.

“Mori, are you really saying that Longman Jack cleared our Jones family’s debt without asking for a penny in return? And to top it off, he provided an additional ten million as compensation? How is that possible? Are you and that good-for-nothing Sherry conspiring to deceive me?”

Old Madam Jones wore a skeptical expression. At this moment, Snowden Jones’ mother Amanda spoke with an eerie tone: “Niece, I know you dearly wish to help that good-for-nothing girl.

But think about it, who exactly is Longman Jack? He voluntarily waived his money, cleared a debt, and on top of that, gave an extra ten million as compensation?

If you tell this tale, even a three-year-old won’t believe you! Are you planning to deceive the old lady? You are being downright naive.”

Hearing these words, Old Madam Jones instantly frowned and indignantly said: “Mori, have you forgotten what I told you earlier? Your primary task now is to gain the Cooper family’s approval!”

Mori Jones’s face turned ugly instantly. Defending Sherry Jones, she said,

“Mom, I’m not plotting with Sherry to deceive you. Everything I said is true.

Sherry is downstairs in the company now.”

Hearing this, Amanda curled her lips into a sarcastic smile and said, “Well, Mom, since our niece insists, why don’t I accompany you to see the company.

I’d also love to see for myself what that good-for-nothing girl has done to make Longman Jack willingly clear the debt and also give her ten million!

I am more afraid of not finding any money but instead discovering someone’s deceitful plan to trick us

“Sister-in-law, you!” Mori Jones was at a loss for words, indignant.

At this moment, Old Madam Jones slowly rose, glared at Mori Jones discontentedly: “Enough! Well, in that case, let’s go and see!

But let me tell you beforehand, if I find out that Sherry dares to deceive me, this old lady, she will never see Logan’s ashes in her life!”

Old Madam Jones let out a cold huff and immediately ordered for a car to be prepared, to head to the Jones Group HQ.

In a short while, Old Madam Jones’s car arrived at Jones Group HQ, accompanied by Mori Jones and Amanda.

As soon as Mori Jones got out of the car, she spotted Sherry Jones, who had been waiting outside the company building for a while now.

“Grandmother.” Sherry Jones went over to greet Old Madam Jones, but she didn’t seem to pay much attention, just nodded nonchalantly.

“Sherry, is what you said on the phone to Mori true?” Old Madam Jones slowly asked,

Before Sherry could answer, Amanda interjected sarcastically, “You still have time to confess. If we go up and check, and there’s no money, you will be the one losing face.”

Sherry frowned, gave Amanda a disgusted look, then calmly said to the old lady, “Grandmother, Longman Jack transferred the money right in front of me.

He even gave me an IOU stating that if the money hasn’t been transferred, I could approach him anytime to collect it.”

Upon saying this, Sherry Jones took out the IOU that Longman Jack had written. It even had Longman Jack’s thumbprint on it.

Seeing this, Amanda burst out laughing: “Oh, that’s good! The lie was impeccably made, even the IOU was ready beforehand. But who are you trying to fool? Yourself or us?

With just this token, you could just about convince anyone that he’s the Mayor.. How about you inflate your claims even higher?”
